    Calculation

    A nurse is administering a unit of RBC 300 mL over 2 hr to a client who has anemia. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? Round to the nearest whole number. Enter numeric value only (numbers and decimal points only, no commas or labels)

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Identify the given information: Total volume: 300 mL Time: 2 hours Determine the flow rate: Set up a proportion to solve for the unknown flow rate (X): 300 mL/2 hr = X mL/1 hr Cross-multiplying gives us: 300 mL x 1 hr = 2 hr x X mL Simplifying: 300 = 2X Solving for X: X = 300 / 2 = 150 mL/hr
